Force Direction Tension Elastic Force Gravity Normal Force Friction Drag 1
Force Direction Tension The magnitude of the tension is the same everywhere in the rope. 2
Force Direction Name of Force Tension Symbol 3 When does this force occur? If an object that is experiencing the force is pulling but not stretching another object Where does this force occur? On the object that is experiencing the force at the point where the pulling occurs Magnitude Determined using Newton’s Second Law Direction Toward the center of the object being pulled (rope, wire, etc. ) Associated Energy No associated energy
Force Direction Spring Force 4
Force Direction Name of Force Spring Force Symbol When does this force occur? If an object that is experiencing the force is stretching (or compressing) another object Where does this force occur? On the object experiencing the force where it connects to the object that stretches/compresses Magnitude 5 Direction Toward the center of the object that stretches or away from the center of the object that compresses Associated Energy Elastic Potential Energy
Force Direction Gravity 6
Force Direction Name of Force Gravity Symbol or When does this force occur? If there are two massive objects present Where does this force occur? At the center-of-mass of the object receiving the force Magnitude 7 or Direction Toward the center of mass of the other massive object Associated Energy Gravitational Potential Energy
Force Direction Normal Force N m w 8
Force Direction 9 Name of Force Normal Force Symbol or When does this force occur? If an object touches the surface of another object Where does this force occur? On the object receiving the force at the point(s) where it touches the surface Magnitude Determined using Newton’s Second Law Direction Perpendicular to the surface and from the object exerting the force to the object experiencing it Associated Energy No associated energy

Force Direction 11 Name of Force Friction Symbol or When does this force occur? If an object touches the surface of another object Where does this force occur? On the object receiving the force at the point(s) where it touches the surface Magnitude or Direction In a direction that opposes the motion or the possibility of motion Associated Energy Thermal Energy
Force Direction Drag D 12
Force Direction Name of Force Drag Symbol When does this force occur? If an object is moving through a liquid or gas. Where does this force occur? On the object receiving the force at the point(s) where it touches the liquid or gas Magnitude 13 Direction In a direction that opposes the motion Associated Energy Thermal Energy
